In 2006 the domain was purchased by Jean-Michel Cazes Chateau
Lynch-Bages Pauillac in Bordeaux.
The owner 1992-2006 Pascal Roux was also the owner of Chateau
du Trignon in Gigondas.
When Pascal Roux bought the domain from the Raynaud family he bought only 27 of
the 42 ha belonging to the property at that time. That's the reason why there is
lots of space in the cellars.
Bernard Tranchecoste has since 1998 been responsible for
the mangement of the domain and the winemaking.
The domain covers 24 ha planted with vines of
which 3 ha are with white varirties The vines are situated at three lieux-dits
Bois Sénéchaux, Les Revès and Grand Pierre. Special cuvèes have never
been made at the domain.
